Critical Path Method

The Critical Path Method is a project scheduling technique that identifies the longest sequence of dependent tasks required to complete a project, determining the minimum time needed for completion. Project managers use it to map task dependencies, calculate duration estimates, and pinpoint which activities cannot be delayed without extending the overall timeline. This method enables teams to allocate resources efficiently, monitor progress against key milestones, and make informed decisions about where to focus efforts to keep projects on schedule.

Critical Path Method sits under Project Management Methods and Tools in the Product & Program Management domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
